How do I log into a specific node or cancel a job on a node I'm not logged into?

StephenHey · ‎05-21-2014

We've had to cancel some background jobs that were running longer than anticipated, but those jobs sometimes get put on a node that we're not logged into. Depending on the severity, we have the whole team log in until they get the node it's running on (by checking all active transactions).

Is there any way to specify a node to log into as an admin or a way to see all jobs across all nodes?

Hi,

You can use certain add-on's like "edit cookie" and many more. The cookie contains the sys id if of the node. Hence when you log in for the first time into service now the sys id is stored in the cookie which is used later to log in to the same node again.

Just get the sys id of the node you want to log in and make use of edit cookie to update the cookie with the new sys id.

Log in again and you should be taken to the desired node.

Thanks,

Vineeth

After upgrading to Calgary, it seems this was 'fixed' and we can no longer edit cookies and have it redirect us to the node we want to go to.

Just in case anyone was wondering, the best best way to get your node id's is from the sys_cluster_state table.

Hello Stephen ,

You can use "BIGipServerpool_InstanceName" Cookies value to Change to a particular node.

Collect this cookie value of all nodes of your SN instance with help of your team using any "cookies Editor".

Next time you can move to a particular node by changing cookie value of that node then refreshing the page.
